Uma política da narratividade: Experimentação e cuidado nos relatos dos redutores de danos de Salvador, Brasil

Abstract

This paper investigates the politic of narratives featured in field reports conducted by agents in a Harm Reduction Program of Salvador (Brazil) in 2012. The research had a starting point in the field diaries to then analyze which narrative strategies are originated in the daily routine of Harm Reduction (HR) in the context of the Brazilian public health. The exploration of these narrative strategies reveals an unique experience of care with drug users in the streets. This experience also encompasses the care given to the experience of field work and research itself. As a consequence emerges in the narratives of the agents a link between experimentation and care.
